Why Airborne? - Honest, Undamaged and Traceable.

Sometimes it's just labelled as "honey" and you have no idea where it comes from.....or sometimes even what country it comes from!

When honey is labelled as a particular floral source, how do you know that it actually comes from that source?

When you buy Airborne, you know exactly where it comes from. And that itis what it claims to be.

Honest When we label a product as a floral source, it has the backing of 100 years of experience plus 25 years of laboratory experience and a comparative database containing over 27,000 records. Read more on techniques used here (simple version), and here (more detailed)

UndamagedThe singe most common question we get is "is your honey heated, raw " All honey crystallizes and must be liquefied before it can be placed in the retail pack. How it is liquefied is the key.

At Airborne we have a patented process for liquefying our honey that routinely delivers the lowest amount of heat damage of any honey in the New Zealand market. Yes, we have tested (and continue to test) this.

We select honeys that are least likely to crystallize for our liquid honeys so don't need excessive heating to stop them crystallizing.

We don't need to pasteurize our honey to stop it fermenting because we don't add water to it.

We only strain our honey through a coarse mesh size to remove visible impurities but retain all the natural things like pollen that should be in natural honey.

Again because we select slow crystallizing honeys to present as liquid we don't need to ultra filter our honeys to remove all the pollen that can act as a nucleation point for crystallization.
